OBJECTIVE
To review the current knowledge about breast cancer in black women--including epidemiology, risk factors, screening practices, pathology, clinical manifestations, treatment, and outcome--with emphasis on issues that might explain why the survival rate in this population of women is lower
Perceived discrimination may contribute to somatic disease. The association between perceived discrimination and breast cancer incidence was assessed in the Black Women's Health Study. In 1997, participants completed questions on perceived discrimination in two domains: "everyday" discrimination
BACKGROUND
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States. Differences in survival of breast cancer have been noted among racial and ethnic groups, but the reasons for these disparities remain unclear. This study presents the characteristics and the survival
A case-control study of breast cancer among Black American women was conducted in seven hospitals in New York City from 1969 to 1975. Results are reported for 127 cases and 317 controls. Compared to women with a first birth before age 19, those with a first birth after 25 had a relative incidence
Young age at breast cancer diagnosis is associated with negative prognostic outcomes, and breast cancer in black women often manifests at a young age. This study evaluated the effect of age on breast cancer management and outcomes in black women.This was a A family history of breast cancer is a major risk factor in this disease, but current information is based entirely on data concerning white families. Two black American families with apparent excesses of breast cancer were studied. Thus far no specific basis for the excess risk has been identified.
A previous study reported that Eastern-African-born black women in the United States had lower prevalence of estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer than those in US-born and Western-African-born black women, among whom the prevalence was similar. It is unknown whether the prevalence Most current research in cancer is attempting to find ways of preventing patients from dying after metastatic relapse. Driven by data and analysis, this project is an approach to solve the problem upstream, i.e., to prevent relapse. This project started with the unexpected observation of bimodal
The objective of this study was to report findings about older black women's responses to breast health education and screening. Findings were reported from a community-based intervention designed to improve breast screening services for women in Erie County, New York. A 34-foot mobile screening and
